Cave
During the latter part of the 1950's the exploration party had investigated some very interesting caverns, mainly within the area of Arkansas and the surrounding states. At on point they came across one particular cavern some miles north of Batesville, Arkansas. This was in an area where several caverns were located. Many of these caves (concentrated generally NW-West of the town of Cushman) have in fact been the subject of some very interesting accounts, suggesting that there might be more thanone route to the nether regions below other than the one discovered by David L. and his friends.

Driving down Blowing Cave, a gravel road in Cushman, there is a certain point where it is not accessible by car, and one must hike up a hill. Approaching the mouth of Blowing Cave, the ghostly sound of rushing water emanates from an unseen source.
